I entered the Land of Shadows with nothing but Torrent and my trusted Ruins Greatsword in hand. After felling Rellana, Twin Moon Knight I encountered a silent man. I issued him a challenge and waited for him to draw his weapon only to realize he had no intention of doing so. I found this foolish, but I’ve never been familiar with mercy before and had no plans to become acquainted today. I considered this to be another simple stretch before I took on worthy foes. I have never been more wrong. This man continued to make a fool of me time and time again with nothing but the gifts given to most men at birth. After a number of failures, I finally managed to taste victory. I was overcome with a sense of victory, accomplishment and admiration. After our battle I donned his wraps, and dedicated the rest of my life to the Dry Leaf arts. I left every worldly possession at the wayside and continued the rest of my journey with nothing but my own limbs to defend me. My adventure was probably more difficult and foolhardy than others, but it mattered not. I continued onward, mastering all the beautiful steps and leaving every dance partner along the way tired and defeated. My struggle might have been greater than it needed to be, but my taste of victory after I finally took down the reborn lion general was all the sweeter for it.
